That news was paired with the announcement that the park would start selling weekday admission tickets at a $30 discount.

The one-day ticket, which sells for $65, must be purchased in advance and is not available at the park's box office. The ticket must be used within 365 days of its purchase. This offer does not include parking.

A similar deal that can be used at SeaWorld on Saturdays and Sundays sells for $80. Normal one-day admission to SeaWorld Orlando is $95.

SeaWorld currently has other ticket offers. The 50% Off Celebration Ticket allows one person to come in for full price, then bring another person in for 50 percent off. The offer ends May 24 and is only available via advance purchase. With SeaWorld's Fun Card allows purchasers to pay for one day and return for the rest of 2014.

SeaWorld is celebrating the company's 50th anniversary with several events, including the “Surprise Squad” that roams the park giving away prizes. The theme park will premiere a new nighttime killer-whale show, "Shamu’s Celebration: Light Up the Night," on June 21.
